This is a tough and hearty grass with deep roots, the one you turn to for resilience and durability. That means you need to keep it mowed or it’ll get trickier to maintain the longer and stronger it gets. On the plus side, mowing gives this grass that classic, sought-after lawn-stripe look. Turf Type Tall Fescue requires less water than your average lawn and can still thrive in dense shade.
